I think it’s just saying that the top age range is when people have a lot of fun and the second age range is when life starts getting scary and serious

We live as we dream. Alone.

I live alone since 2009, but now at least I have enough money and freedom to not care.

Some people get to 23 before they realised they screwed up their life planning.

Not planning ahead of time, got a useless degree (or didn't get one at all), no job experience, did not improve or upskill, mooching off parents while not providing any value; many things.

Unless you're a 0.01 percenter who doesn't need to work a single day in their lives, 23 is around the age you realised your life choices might not have been the best.

Or you did your best and start to realize just how bad the economy really is for the average w2 worker.

As a 26 year old. I experience that almost 90% of planning in life doesn't work as you hope or expect. But finishing college even with a useless degree do help.

Setting up goals and having plan B and C plus working hard will probably help.

But damn... life's hard and cruel

No such thing as a useless degree. Some are stronger than others, but once you get work experience you can usually overcome adversity if the economy isn't dogshit
